It's been 5 months since I told my daughter about Santa not being real. I just asked her if she felt upset that we had pretended Santa was real. She said it was a lot more fun and exciting previously, but maybe whe will feel more excited on the day. Her little bro is really excited, so I'm...

My son just turned 9, we told him the tooth fairy isn't real when my daughter found the teeth. I won't be telling him about the bunny or santa just yet. We have so much fun. The kids get so excited for weeks before and after. Hopefully my daughter will get as much excitement watching the joy...

My girl found a couple of her recently lost teeth in my husbands wallet. I thought it was time to come clean on everything, she's 12 soon, and that was my limit. She was quite excited at first to be in-the-loop. For the next couple of days she was distraught, she said she loved the surprises...

Just because I haven't told her about Santa doesn't mean I haven't taught her about the ugly truth about some of the risks in life. I started teaching her about "Protective Behaviours" since the age of 3. If a pet dies I tell her the truth. She has always been a very mature, sensible girl and...

tHANKS for all your opinions everyone. At the end of the day everyone is just doing what they think is best for their kids. I heard a couple of years ago that an old friend of my daughters who is 3 years older than my daughter had to be told the truth about santa, etc. I thought it was a bit...

Good points Casserole Dish. I used to be more honest to my kids before I realised some things were adult issues and they didn't need to know about them yet. Let them be kids without knowing about some of the negative things going on in the world.

That's what we did too. My daughters yr1 teacher told the class not to ask santa for expensive stuff because it's really mum and dad's money. :eek: We had to convince them the teacher wasn't serious.

sHE has had her doubts for a couple of years. Saying thing like, "jenny at school say's there's no santa" my reply has been, "Well they wont get presents from santa then." The issue at the moment is I've always told them the santa's in the shops aren't real, as it didn't take them long to...

My almost 11 yo was asking some Q's this morning about the real santa and the pretend santa's in the shops and conflicting stories she's been told. I think it's time to explain, but I don't know how or what to say. What do others do/say?
